SeaWorld Orlando’s Howl-O-Scream 2025 is creeping closer, and this year promises even more thrills. The separately ticketed event—running on select nights from September 5 through November 1, 2025—will transform the park into an after-hours nightmare filled with haunted houses, immersive scare zones, and pulse-pounding coasters in the dark.
While we’ll have to wait a little longer to experience the full terror for ourselves, SeaWorld Orlando gave us a sneak peek of what’s to come through a one-of-a-kind fashion show featuring monstrous new looks straight from the underworld and onto the catwalk.

Howl-O-Scream 2025 Fashion Show
The Howl-O-Scream 2025 Fashion Show gave us a chilling first look at the creatures and characters set to haunt SeaWorld Orlando this fall. The runway was packed with street styles from returning scare zones like Blood Light District and Cannibal Harbor, along with glimpses of brand-new zones, including Woodrot Hollow and Ashes of the Forgotten.
In fact, one of the biggest reveals came from the Ashes of the Forgotten scare zone, introducing this year’s new icon: Havoc. He is described as Hell’s ambassador to the living — a punisher and breaker of souls. Once bound to the shadows by the Sirens, the former icons of Howl-O-Scream, Havoc is now free to roam. He rides between worlds, dragging Earth’s sins into his fiery arena. His battleground is one of flesh, fire, and slaughter, where fear fuels his power. We were able to witness Havoc’s first public appearance as he stormed down the catwalk, officially claiming his throne as the face of this year’s event.
The preview didn’t stop there. We also got a first look at this year’s haunted houses, including these new additions: Widow’s Nest, The Rave Yard, and The Collector’s Curse. These fresh nightmares join returning favorites, like Farm 51 and Water’s Edge Wellness Center, to deliver a terrifying lineup for 2025.
The fashion show also showcased the event’s live entertainment, with performers from Scorchline: Deadly Rhythm, Monster Stomp, and Hellzapoppin Presents: The Grave Danger Thrill Show making their way from stage to runway.
This exclusive fashion show offered an exciting taste of what’s to come, leaving us with even greater anticipation for the event’s official kick-off in September.
